Two of my buddies have ZR1's. Like they say on a plane, give that seat belt an extra tug!

Congrats!

Just a smidge. LOL

Ivan, did you see that the guy that bought your Z is already trying to sell it? Listed it in one of the facebook groups. That was fast.

I talked to that guy 2 weeks ago he has some monster cts-v I figured he wasn't going to keep Ivans old car long. Think his name was Steve. Cool dude chatted with him a bit.

Ivan bring some beer and that car over homie!!!

That is a great looking ride!!!! I must ask though, you mentioned you liked your coupe better than your z06. Just curious on your reasoning on that.

I liked my coupe overall because it was my first Vette,i had some great times in that car, I daily drove it, and it was so Smooth and comfortable to drive. even after I had Cammed & Stalled it, it was a blast to drive. The coupe just had a lot of sentimental value to me.

The C5Z was a great car overall for sure, much better handling, better performance over the Coupe, but even in stock form the tranny/Shifter always felt "clunky" and it felt tedious to daily drive.

The ZR1 feels like a mixture between the two, refined but brutal at the same time. I Hope that makes sense
